Midnight Prayers

If I should die before I wake
I pray then Lord to take it away
heartbreak from loving
lying, the past, my destruction
and the wake in it's path

Our father who art in heaven
please hear my call
As I lay down to sleep
please wake me in the morning
so I can wake up inside

Don't strike me for not believing
Don't smite me for what I said
Forsake me not for now I see
Where you've been inside of me
Under the rubble, broken pieces, and ash
Somehow you survived the crash

And even when I prayed so long and hard
all through the night
you still didn't show
or say "I'm here"
so do not forsake me
just grant me this one wish
that when I lay me down to sleep
and pray for my soul to keep
that if I die before I wake
please
if even for a minute
take it away

Fall

New begginning
as my happy dwindles down
everything changes
even the leaves on the tree
they grow and bloom
in a wonderful floresence
will I be as beautiful
or will I crumble and fall as all of them
eventually do

Summer

Free flying high
like the beautiful birds in the sky
without a care in the world
because it lays in my hand
like a shining pearl
from much work by the clam
I'm never going back
it might be HOT
but I'm cool
no more sitting or waiting
I can be who I want
no debating
just do because I can
who knew life could be so rich
this is awesome I have bliss
love is at the height
so I'll kiss you with all my might
who knows how long it'll last
be happy with what I've got
this is summer not my past

Spring

Sunny skies spring to life as the sun saunters along
awakening dormant to-do's
semi-solid soil supports sunflowers
lilacs, lilies and love
love that floats in the air
like little bubbles lifting spirits
warm rain falls in fat drops
but in this season I do not mind
because in this season I don't mind much
I'm happy having nothing
just waiting with anticipating buzz

Winter

Dying time
cold air creeping through uncomfortable coats
wind whipping wildly wheezing wearily at closed windows
rosy fingertips wilt numb and blue
slush controls the ground
as ice falls from the sky
bleak, frozen tundra
stretches as far as the eye can see
hearts hungry for heat
because the cold continues to seep
it dominates everything
as we walk home with dead pan faces
which we cannot feel
all we do is lift heavy feet
trying to get to save heavens
where heaves of heavenly food awaits

Renga verses

* ok you're probably thinking: wtf what's a renga? >.< well calm down and I'll tell you ^_^" ok now: renga is a collabrative japanese poem and i'm not going to go into details but my class is writing one and the lines all have to have a specific number of syllables and it has to be about a season. kk? ^ _^ *

winter:

fresh little white flakes
dotting the black velvet sky
just like bright diamonds

spring:

new found sun appears
teardrops and fat rain mixes
beautiful rainbow

sun:

a bright sun burning
all my fears and worries
I am free to love

fall:

cool breeze blows away
my past and previous faults
new beginning waits

Corny

you had me at
"hello"
such a corny line
i refuse
there's no excuse
to say such a thing to me
though insignificant
through coincidence
i would find
it happened in real life
i must impend
there is no end
to my curiousity
of why you would use such a line on me
could it be that
you're true and blue
and you mean the corny things you say
could it be that
i feel it too
though i'm scared to trust if i'll be ok
i don't know what's in store
or what this world will hold
but truth be told
i see our futures unfold
the moment you said
"hello"
